He failed a drug test.
He failed a doping test. Thatâs enough reason for there to be a legitimate debate.
Speculating on the Monaghan player is a different matter.

He got cleared of any wrong doing.
I couldnât give a fuck about some dopey ulster cunt who took drugs. It only confirms suspicions. Hopefully this will lead to a certain county having an all Ireland stripped from them.

That may be so. But itâs still a fair topic for debate.
As is the Monaghan player who also failed a test. As admitted by the GAA & GPA.
Yes Kev, but it is still under investigation.
OâMahony is fair game because he was cleared of any wrongdoing. ( @Nembo Kid )
o_O
Maybe a Diving in GGA Thread is a runner?
He couldnât have done it without salbutamol.
It does delay oneâs reactions alright.

OâMahony tested positive for a banned performance enhancing substance, he was even over the permitted level allowed for an âasthma suffererâ. The GAA showed that they donât take doping seriously when they let him off the hook.
OâMahony clearly has no moral problem with cheating.
He was cleared, you knew that. Move on, you look like a pleb.
Link to the report please. I also missed this.
Cleared?
No, he wasnât.
He was given a pass. He tested positive for a banned performance enhancing substance, that was even above the level allowed for his players with his alleged âailmentâ. The GAA showed they werenât serious about eradicating doping from the game when they let OâMahony off.
Hereâs the report.
[SIZE=6]OâMahony doping case adjourned[/SIZE]
Aidan OâMahony tested positive for the use of Salbutamol
Kerry defender Aidan OâMahony must wait until January to find out whether his name will be cleared by the GAAâs anti-doping hearings committee.
Wednesday nightâs hearing was adjourned in the early hours of Thursday morning with no conclusion having been reached.
The committee will now reconvene in January to make a decision.
OâMahony failed a drugs test after this yearâs All-Ireland final after being found to have an increased level of salbutamol in his system.
Prior to Wednesday nightâs hearing Kerry chairman Jerome Conway had said he had âevery confidenceâ that OâMahonyâs name would be cleared.
The GAA had lifted the provisional suspension imposed on OâMahony for a doping offence pending a full hearing of the case.
The Kerry captain was suspended following an initial finding that the level of the asthma-related drug salbutamol exceeded permitted levels.
OâMahony uses an inhaler to treat his asthma condition and he has denied any wrongdoing and vowed to clear his name.
Salbutamol is a widely-used treatment for asthma through an inhaler but players are only allowed to take the drug under controlled guidelines.
OâMahony has enlisted the solicitor who represented rugby player Frankie Sheahan in a similar case in 2003.
In accordance with the provisions of the Irish Anti-Doping Rules, the GAA were obliged to provisionally suspend the player involved pending the outcome of a hearing of the Anti-Doping Hearings Committee.
The finding will require the player to show that the result was the consequence of the therapeutic use of inhaled Salbutamol.
Sheahan had a similar problem with Salbutamol and had a two-year ban slapped on him.
However, the ban was reduced to three months on appeal, and he was also fined 5000 euros.
The Munster hooker claimed he had forgotten to properly inform authorities that he was using a Ventolin inhaler to combat his asthma

If he was innocent then why was he reprimanded?
The GGA swept this one under the carpet, no doubt about it.
Did OâMahony test positive for a banned performance enhancing substance? Yes. FACT.
Did OâMahony exceed the permitted levels allowed for asthma sufferers? Yes. FACT.
Was OâMahony reprimanded for testing positive for a banned substance? Yes. FACT.
The only thing the OâMahony case showed is that the GGA arenât serious about tackling doping.

The only thing this thread has shown is that you are a dope.
No, it has further proven that Munster people donât like playing on a level playing field.
